Out walking Skate last night. Still wiped out as I had just gotten back from NY and a long week or BS business meetings.

Well, he managed to lean over a pull a FAWN out of the grass. DAMN! Poor fawn sounded like a small child screaming. At first I thought it was small dog until I realized the white spots! :mad: Grabbed his mouth and pried the jaws open to get him to drop. Thankfully the fawn got up and took off as Mom was just about to charge us. :eek:

Dog looked pissed at me, but he has a retriever mouth... pretty soft in that area. Fawn was OK and took off screaming.

Just glad we didn't get hoofed by momma deer! :D

Tom :usa:

P.S. Last yeat the coyote's got something that was screaming beyond belief. Called the cops as we thought it was a child.... Now I recognize it was a fawn. Never heard it before... didn't realize deer could scream like that. Odd

Whats a FAWN? never heard of one in my life.

A new/baby deer. They're spotted i.e. Bambi until the first year I think?

That is the damn truth right there. A few months after I got my rabbit I heard him yell for the only time the entire time I had him. The only other time he even made a noise was when he sneezed. He was in the process of trying to get behind the entertainment center, where it is hard to get to him and he likes to chew on wires, bad combo. Well he had about made it when I grabbed onto his tail (didn't tug or anything, always did this when he tried to go behind stuff). Well I musta really caught the poor little guy off guard, because he let loose with a yell like you've never heard. Sounded like a pig at full squeel. I was kinda in shock, and my roommates were all like WTF? Only time he ever made a noise in 2.5 years...

I had read somewhere that in Iraq we were blasting heavy metal music and rabbit screams to the Iraqi's to encourage them giving up/telling info. Of course that may be all nonsense but I do remember us blaring music at Noriega's compound in Panama.

Jimmy Carter Attacked by Killer Rabbit (April 20, 1979)

Jimmy Carter fishing in GeorgiaToday in Odd History, President Jimmy Carter was attacked by a rabbit during a fishing trip in Plains, Georgia. The rabbit, which may have been fleeing a predator, swam toward his boat, "hissing menacingly, its teeth flashing and nostrils flared." President Carter was forced to swat at the vicious beast with a canoe paddle, which apparently scared it away.

Upon his return to the White House, Carter told his staff about the furry amphibian's assault. Most of them refused to believe him, insisting that rabbits can't swim (although since most mammals can swim, there's no reason to believe that rabbits cannot), and that even if they could, they certainly wouldn't attack humans, and certainly not presidents. Fortunately, a White House photographer had been on the scene, and had recorded the bizarre attack. The photograph showed Carter with his paddle raised, warding off a small creature which might, or might not, have been a rabbit. One staffer was quoted as saying, "You couldn't tell what it was." Undaunted by their skepticism, Carter had the image enlarged, and there it was--a killer bunny rabbit, apparently bent on assassinating the president.

The story might have ended there, except that White House Press Secretary Jody Powell mentioned the incident to Associated Press reporter Brooks Jackson in August. JawsThe Washington Post ran it as front page news. The original photograph was not available (until the Reagan administration leaked it in 1981), but the paper filled the gap with a cartoon modeled on the poster for the movie Jaws, starring the rabbit and entitled Paws. Powell made a belated attempt to impress the public with the seriousness of the attack, calling the creature a "swamp rabbit," but since Carter had to appease his rabbit-loving constituents by insisting that he had not actually smacked his buck-toothed opponent with his paddle, but only splashed water at it to drive it away, it seemed unlikely that he had been in danger. The entire episode became a I'm a Bunny for Cartersymbol of Carter's floundering presidency. According to Powell, "[I]t shows the extent to which an insignificant incident can snowball and end up in newspapers and news shows across the country.” Carter biographer Douglas Brinkley says, “It just played up the Carter flake factor.... I mean, he had to deal with Russia and the Ayatollah and here he was supposedly fighting off a rabbit.”

Yup. I learned about that before I went to school, but it was
also taught early on in school. It sure seems like the school system
of today is sadly lacking in content.

i'll agree we didn't learn as much...hell if i know why. Grew up in the city so I didnt see a deer till i was probably 10 or so.

Kinda like how most high school students can't identify most or sometimes any of the states.

Do me a favor then...

STAY IN THE CITY!

I've come across WAY to many "city folk" moving out to the country and end up bringing the city out there because they couldn't hack it.

If you do move to the country.. do your research first. For starters:

1) It is "ok" to shoot guns at coyote, etc.

2) It is "ok" to do major vehicle work

3) It is "ok" that you are at least 10-20 miles from the nearest gas station, mini-mart, strip mall. After all.. this is the country

4) It is YOUR fualt if your cat/dog is killed by a wild animal.

ok.. I think that covers it.

Regardless where the hell you grew up, i can't imagine NOT knowing what a fawn is... :rolleyes:
I don't know if it was taught in school, but i'm sure i read it in a book somewhere too. (Books are those rectangular things with writing on lots of pages.)
Did they teach you what a book was in school???? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:laughing: I miss that show. I can't imagine that the new one is going to be anywhere as good.

There's alot of Disney movies from the 60's that had lots of animals in it. Couldn't help but learn something from those.

Update...

Out walking these afternoon... guess what came running up to us with a "maa, maa..." sound. If you guessed the worlds dumbest fawn... correct!!! :D

I kept YELLING at the fawn to get it to avoid us, but kept on coming towards like "hi, it's Mom!" Finally gave a loud "Pssssssssssssst" and it hit the ground and froze. Thankfully the dog didn't go after it this time. Whew.

For anyone who hasn't seen a newborn fawn... at first glance I thought it was a little skinny mexican dog (Chihuahua). Small, normally that small they hide until larger... not this guy! :eek:

Country living notes... neighbor commented "please keep your dogs on a leash, as some small dog ran up and grabbed my CAT off the front porch". Uh, seems they didn't think Coyote's lived out here! (Coyotes are about 25 pounds... ) :D

Hell, we have coyotes in the canyons in the middle of the city here.
Small dogs and cats are snack items for them.

well if it comes back one more time keep that sucker as a pet? can you do that?

Maybe its mother died and is all alone except for a friendly rabbit named Thumper????

Beef is good.... veal is better.

Venison is good... you do the math.
